The first picture I chose to describe is the one that displays all fruits and vegetables. I chose this picture because it shows a variety of crops being sold at a farmers market. In the book Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman some of the people that come to plant their crops end up selling them or trading them. An example of this can be found on page 85 “The pumpkins were about the only color still left in the garden, and then the boy sold them all.” I chose this because it shows that all the other crops were already picked and sold, traded, or eaten.

In the Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, Barbara Kingsolver 's family, which consisted of her husband, Steven L. Hopp, and her two daughters, Camille and Lily used to live in Tucson, Arizona but Kingsolver began to feel that they had an unnecessary drain on local resources, especially water. The family had always owned property in the Appalachia region and visited the property every summer. One year they decided to move to their property in the Appalachia permanently around when Lily was entering third grade and Camille was a year away from going to college.

Berlin, it was the Russians who hoisted their flag over the ruins of the Reichstag building in May 1945. It signaled that World War Two in Europe was effectively over. If the events around a small town in Holland had turned out differently, the troops who captured Berlin could easily have been British or American. If Operation Market Garden, in Holland, had succeeded, the western allies could have penetrated their way across one of the last great natural barriers between them and Germany. Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation of its time, was a joint military operation intended to end the war by Christmas 1944.
In the essay "A Gringo in the Lettuce Fields," Thompson tells us about his errors and reminds us that he is an outsider. I believe the reason for this is because there is so much misconception that immigrants just come to America to take away these jobs from Americans. I also believe that immigrants know that Americans believe this to be true. With that being said, I think his target audience are both Americans and the immigrants doing this type of work. I think there is somewhat of an ignorance when it comes to understanding what this type of work entails and the damage it does to ones body.

Agriculture and Memory – Jan Zwicky and the Intersection of Personal and Eco-political Relations with Land Near my grandparents’ farm the land swells in half-hills dotted with patches of brush, and between their farm and the next is an ungravelled grid road with grass growing between two tracks of dirt. It exists in my mind in perpetual August, hot, wheat and barley and rye and hay ripening in fields on all sides. Looking south I see the main gravel road, border to an open expanse of grassy space turned to gold. But to the north the road descends into thin poplars and chokecherries, aspen leaves flickering in a stiff breeze. The road is narrow and deserted, an exploration, dipping down into mud and shadow.
